Vehicle Spawning

Is it only me, or can you not spawn in a vehicle at the beginning of a round as a passenger? I find myself urgently trying to chose a vehicle at the beginning of a round, because if I do not lock one in for myself (as the driver), I have to be flown in on the transport and end up running across half the map. I have never been able to spawn into a vehicle as a passenger at the beginning of a round. Once the match begins, and I have re-spawned, I can spawn in a vehicle as a passenger, but never the beginning of a match.

  • So I think the “issue” here is that most vehicles that are spawned in at the start are available for the squad spawn only. 

    For example, if I spawn a LATV, MBT, or Nightbird, only my squad mates can spawn on me at the start. This kind of makes sense so you don’t pull a vehicle for you and your squad only to have it filled up with random teammates.

    If you spawn a MAV or a Condor/Hind you can have anyone spawn on you at the start. This makes sense as it is a dedicated transport vehicle and mobile spawn point for the whole team to spawn on at the start of or during the round.

    I think the design here is that most vehicles should be operated by your immediate squad and thus are only available for your immediate squad to spawn into at the start of or during the round.

    There are likely other contributing factors here like not enough vehicles or players not picking up other players at the start (a single occupancy LATV rushing a point).

    It's the same for everyone @CloverDeuce. I personally think that it's tied to the forced spawn at the beginning of matches.

  • @X505 Unless they have changed things but I was never able to spawn on a squad mate's vehicle in the beginning.

    @CantGetRight This sounds like a bug than a design issue then. I have squad mates spawn on my vehicles from the start all the time.

    This might be related to clicking the vehicle itself vs clicking the driver’s name.
  • I have the same issue, I can’t spawn in any vehicle, squad owned or not. This is another frustrating thing with this game!!!
